Also fixed CTX_FOO_ macros when building without i18n, those were kinda wrong.
And hid i18n ui section in userpreferences when built without its support too.
Nice formatted version (pictures soon):
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Ref/Release_Notes/2.66/Usability
Short list of main changes:
- Transparent region option (over main region), added code to blend in/out such panels.
- Min size window now 640 x 480
- Fixed DPI for ui - lots of cleanup and changes everywhere. Icon image need correct size still, layer-in-use icon needs remake.
- Macbook retina support, use command line --no-native-pixels to disable it
- Timeline Marker label was drawing wrong
- Trackpad and magic mouse: supports zoom (hold ctrl)
- Fix for splash position: removed ghost function and made window size update after creation immediate
- Fast undo buffer save now adds UI as well. Could be checked for regular file save even...
Quit.blend and temp file saving use this now.
- Dixed filename in window on reading quit.blend or temp saves, and they now add a warning in window title: "(Recovered)"
- New Userpref option "Keep Session" - this always saves quit.blend, and loads on start.
This allows keeping UI and data without actual saves, until you actually save.
When you load startup.blend and quit, it recognises the quit.blend as a startup (no file name in header)
- Added 3D view copy/paste buffers (selected objects). Shortcuts ctrl-c, ctrl-v (OSX, cmd-c, cmd-v).
Coded partial file saving for it. Could be used for other purposes. Todo: use OS clipboards.
- User preferences (themes, keymaps, user settings) now can be saved as a separate file.
Old option is called "Save Startup File" the new one "Save User Settings".
To visualise this difference, the 'save startup file' button has been removed from user preferences window. That option is available as CTRL+U and in File menu still.
- OSX: fixed bug that stopped giving mouse events outside window.
This also fixes "Continuous Grab" for OSX. (error since 2009)
If this is needed we can add the reset button back as an option for certain operators,
but AFAICS any operator with enough settings that resetting them all would be annoying - could have presets enabled.
When adding extra context data in a layout using uiLayoutSetContextPointer, this info was not inherited by popup menus generated in this layout. While operators from regular buttons work fine, the data is missing in operators from menus and such. This patch copies the bContextStore from buttons to the new uiLayout used for popups.
The fact is, operators' label are nearly always verbs, while properties labels are nearly always nouns. So this should already solve many translations' problems regarding noun/verb confusion.
This commit also simplifies a bit i18n usage:
*Now IFACE_ and TIP_ macros (or there context versions, CTX_IFACE_/TIP_) are used nearly everywhere (with one exception, where code is a bit complex and needs to manually test whether ui/tip translations is allowed, so no need to redo it later through those macros).
*Also, those macros are now defined to NOP in case WITH_INTERNATIONAL is false, which avoid testing that define everywhere in code!
In fact, most "UI special cases" are not well translated, currently. :/ This affects especially the "Properties" panels. This commit should address problems in Graph editors, and 3D View (but probably not yet all of them). Yet it already adds more than 100 new messages (and fixes translated drawing of more).
Also done some style edits…
Issue was caused by starting Icon Preview render job from two places:
- Texture buttons for small icon preview
- Properties panel in image editor for large icon of texture
This preview job is starting in suspended mode and if new instance of the same job is
starting, suspended job will be totally stopped. This is normally for cases when you're
changing different settings -- in this case you'd wouldn't want re-render be triggered
on every slide change.
But what we've have with brush preview is that two instances of this job were creating for
large and small icon separately, but because of described policy only one icon was rendered.
If suspended job is getting to be stopped, check if it was started for the same icon
resolution and if not, that resolution will be also rendered in new job.
So it'll be still minimal re-rendering happens, but in cases when job was started from
two places for different icon sizes it'll work just fine.
